1t is strange how few people know what
their normal pulse is, said physician to a
st. Louis Globe reporter. They know the
average pulse is about 20, and imagine
that they are well or otherwise as their
pulse approaches or departs from this
standard. 1t is true that an average of
all pulses would give a result of about 20
beats, but in no other physical peculiar
ity is there such wide individual varia-
ton. | had two students in my Office at
the same time. both very strong and re.
markably healthy young men. The nor.
NAL pulse of one was Al and the other o.
This difference is unusual, few pulses
falling below 60 or rising above so in q
healthy subject, but an unusually slow OF
rapid pulse is no indication whatever OF
disease, as is popularity supposed to be the
case. Most people overestimate theil
pulse, rs they often count its beats wher
talking about the matter, and it is fact
well known to physicians that the excite
ment of conversation will quicken the
pulsr to 20 beats. The best time to ar
rive at the true normal is shortly after
| waking in the morning, when the nerve,
are uneXcited.

"A Lumber Kings Great Enterprise.

George Van Dyke, the lumber king of
New England, is coming down the Con
necticut river with more than 100000
of spruce lumber, much larger
quantity than he or any other person has
ever before driven down in one season
The rear of the drive is within few miles
of McIndoes Falls, on what is known as
the 10 mile falls. With the present pitch
of water the logs will pass that place
within 10 days, nearly month earlier
than usual. TO perform the labor in get
ting this immense amount of lumber
down requires the services of over 900
hardy men and so horses, at an expense of
more than $1,000 per day. Mr.. Van Dyke
not only superintends and looks after this
drive, but is running at the present time
four mills that are cutting out about 500,
600 feet of lumber every working day.

They Do Not Want President Cleveland to
Visit st. Louis.

MADISON, Wis, June 5.-Private ad-

firm reports that letters are pouring in at
ST. Louis ordering cancellation OF their
arrangements for quarters, II 1t Is true
that President Cleveland is to be present.
The executive officers, however, intend to
keep out of the muss. Commander-ln-
chief Fairchild does not believe that the
citizens Of ST. Louis will invite the presl-
dent for the encampment week, as the
accommodations of the city will be taxed
to the utmost capacity at that time In
caring for the Grand Army people. he
does not think that the citizens or 81
Louis would be so inhospitable to the
Grand Army men as to seek to attract the
great additional crowd that would nat
urally turn out to see the president TO the
| Inconvenience of the veterans. he be-

expect that all the accommodations or the
| city will he open to it, and that the peopl
of St. Loris will view the matter in the
same light.

among the union prisoners ia Libby
prison to effect g general escape. The
plot moi. only involved the liberation O,
the mass OF prisoners, but the capture Of
the guard and q battery at the prison
and the releasso OF the union prisoners al
Belle Isle, ACROSS the James river. The
burning OF Richmond and the capture oil
thls confederate cabinet Was also q part
Of the plan. Nlne officers were in the
undertaking, and il promised to be q
success.
The day before the start was to be
made n OF the officers betrayed the
plot. A court marital was al once held.
and he was found guilty. As the vote
was being taken on the question Of guilt
Strait WAS seen to be twisting q rope but
OF pieces OF calico. When the verdict
was announced he said: "Ghere can be
but one sentence, gentlema,a, and 1 ara
ready to execute it. He advanced with
the rope, The prisoner turned pale.
A. this = csvairy officer by the name Of
Louis Thomrson steppes in front OF the

Tor his life, and the verdict iE d Just one.

They dosed her with pills,
With powders and squills,
With remedies wet. and with remedies

Many medicines luEed her,
But none OF them cured her,

And abe soon might have died,
But some" Pellets" were tried,
That acted like magic and then she got
well.
